How do you remove confusion, stun?

[Fusilier]

Is there a spell to remove these status effects aside from waiting? Remove paralysis doesn't work. I haven't tried dispel magic.

Remove paralysis is correct usage, But maybe sometimes its not 100% Guaranteed? ;P

dispel magic is usally the way to go. You can prevent confusion in the first place by casting the druid/cleric spell chaotic commands. Never leave home without it.

Thanks for that link. It appears that remove paralysis works on stun, but not on confusion/chaos.

Yeah, but sometimes I fight a battle without resting or get ambushed, so it's good to have a backup.

Dispel Magic works on Confusion, but read the spell description. If there's a big enough gap between your caster level and the enemy's, it won't work. But...if you have Keldorn cast it, he's casting Dispel Magic at 2x his level so it usually works. Problem is, Dispel Magic, dispells all magic in the radius so say goodbye to your buffs on other characters including Haste. Sometimes it's just easier to fight it out than remove it. At lower levels once you remove all of the hostiles, the rest of the party can often run out of the room and close the door till it wears off.

lol, Dispel Magic does not work on Confused status, been replaying the EE version and the low level spells in bg1 cant do anything against the status "Confused" other than wait and hope they dont run toward a room full of enemies
Remove paralysis only work on hold and stun.
donno if beamdog "#¤"#¤"#¤ it up, it was like 20 years ago I played this game over and over.
but im at act 7 now and Ive tried dispel magic about 100 times when my guys are confused, it does not do anything, but it is the only spell that should work so I have tried it over and over.....oh yea restoration does not work on the status "Confused" either

It's a 5 year old thread dude.

[Fusilier]

Always good to have more information

[rompier02]

Hi. The Shaman has a special class spell that will remove confusion/feeble mind/chaos.

Google is a thing, and people are still looking for answers 5 years later.. Dude.

From what I have found the best method is protection/prevention, like chaotic commands, and dealing with the casters who cause it with attacks and spells of your own, like insects.

[red255]

yeah, potions of clarity, chaotic commands, beserker rage, prevent the effect. don't let it happen (gear)

remove paralysis removes hold. I think in siege of dragonspear it was working on stun, my guys AI were CASTING it on stun at least. but BG2 doesn't say it works on stun.

I also tend to have like some really heavy objects in my backpack. like Ankleg shells. you can move those items onto your confused person, so they cannot move due to being encumbered. then just leave until they recover themselves.

If you want a CLASS for removing stuff, thats the inquisitor, its dispel removes pretty much everything.

[6h0$t942]

Chaotic commands, various equipment. Remove paralysis should work for stun i think, I dont remember if free action works for stun specifically. If you use iwdification mod priests get a lvl 3 spell for psychic protection. Exaltation.

[red255]

Free Action instantly cures paralysis, stun, hold, entangle, web, grease, and slow.
Additionally, for the duration of the spell, the recipient will be immune to all of the above except stun, which can still be inflicted.

I hate contributing to thread necromancy but, since no one mentioned it, Greater Restoration will remove confusion.

Dispel can actually remove confusion effects from most sources, but it will only work a certain percent chance of the time. The higher your caster level, the more likely it is to work. Read the spell's description. if you are a level 9 mage trying to remove a confusion effect cast by, say, a lich, you are probably going to fail. Try casting Dispel Magic with an Inquisitor Paladin, like Keldorn. They double their caster level when casting their Dispel, and even a relatively low level Inquisitor has a good chance of dispelling most effects.
